turnips and beetroot

sarahashfield

I have these in my organic box this week.

can cook beetroot, but any other ideas for this?

no idea what to do with turnips. never eaten them!!

I need to find a way to use them which will be palatable for husband and two small children... that is a challenge..

Hi Sarah,

You could always pickle beetroot or what about Chocolate Beetroot Muffins?

I chop the turnip into smallish chunks and cook in water with chopped carrot. Then drain the water off and mash the carrot and turnip together. Once mashed add a little butter. It makes a sweetish veg that children usually like. If you really think you're husband and children won't like it have a look in this thread for ideas on disguising vegetables: Any devious ideas for hiding veggies?

Cook the turnip and mash it in with your spuds.........a little butter, salt and pepper......
